Children Yoga Classes

The Tree of yoga will be holding a free trail yoga class for the over 3 + Friday 19th February ... Please message me for time and place as places are limited I have found a way to integrate yoga into an enjoyable weekly practice for the child, whilst using the traditional yoga postures, breathing and relaxation techniques. For the younger child they lead to exciting adventures and magical places through games that support the practice of yoga The classes are fun and aid the development of a child’s natural powers, imagination and creativity. For the older child the practice is to aid their studying by helping them to clear and calm their minds and breathing exercises to improve concentration and energy levels. The classes explore self – expression in a safe environment. The flow of yoga poses to the latest hip music makes these classes fun.

Day in the life of a Toddler's Yoga Mat

I spent so many years in the fashion industry and it felt good to move in the direction of yoga, the Yin to the Yang industry. However I still have wonderful dreams of the fun times.

A few years ago G (The Boyfriend) mentioned it would be good to have a Baby Yogi Mat for the post natal classes. Two hours later I came back to him and showed G the range that I had designed. He said “ I only mentioned a mat”   Baby Yogi was born and nurtured within 2 hours.

Four years down the line I regular exhibit at “Om Yoga Show”. The range has spread all around the world, USA , Canada , Australia, Russia, Europe etc and yet I find it difficult to tell my community. 

Why is that? 

 

A day in the life of our Yogi Mats!

Day 1: James arrives home from nursery to find an orange and a purple yogi mat!

Excitement enthuses as he tries out both for size, firmness and of course durability!

Let's try the exercises drawn on the mat first. The tree is easily accomplished. (After some wobbling and giggling!) The frog is executed beautifully first time! (And second and third and.... You get my drift!) Finally the Lion! James gets into position and bellows out a roar! The orange mat is a roaring success!

Only thing left to do is relax....!
